Col Du Galibier and Back Update

I knew the photo I took of the switchback on the North Cascade Highway reminded me of the Tour de France. Compare it to the photo below by Graham Watson. It is from Stage 15, Briancon-Courchevel, in the 2000 Tour. The main peloton, led by the US Postal Service Team, is climbing the 8677-foot Col du Galibier. Maybe there should be a Tour of Washington with some big alpine passes including a stage from Burlington to Winthrop.



Back Update: Slept terrible last night, but am feeling slightly better today. I'm thinking PT irritates the muscles more than helps. I'm definitely considering some pins.
